Frets done, let the carving begin.  I am amazed at the progress my dad is making out of the shop.  Cannot wait to get out there this weekend and get some hardware going into these!  

Cocobolo, Wenge, Maple. I think my dad made the Cocobolo on the 25” scale to torture me… 

This is starting to get serious, huh?  What did we get ourselves into…

via the Hemet shop… truss rod jig: complete.  fingerboard slotting beginning this week… cannot wait to get out to the shop in a couple weeks and start hardware.  

Updates: I got a few pictorial updates this weekend out of the Ferrante Guitars workshop.  The first 5 maple neck blanks are cut and ready for carving… 8 were chosen, 5 survived the routing.  Three 25” scale and two 25 1/2” scale.  

My new toy… 1962 Gibson GA-8 Discoverer.  Can’t wait to get home to play tonight.
